Greetings from Malaysia

[m'sianinja]

Greetings from Malaysia... I am a newbie in this forum and i must say that there is a lot of information on these great cars on this forum. I myself have fixed many problems on my car just by searching the tech forums.

My ride is a 1995 80 series LandCruiser with a normaly aspirated 1hz 4.2 litre diesel engine. I decided on the car after watching my uncle bring his 80 series on countless expeditions around the world with the Petronas Adventure Team.

Since getting the car in March of 2006 i have clocked up 40,000Km and have put 33inch tyres on and a 4 inch suspension lift. XGS shocks and EFS Springs. Future projects i am looking into are a turbo, snorkel and a rear bar.

Thats all from me for now....

Welcome to the forum! I've heard Malaysia's got some seriously difficult roads, so you chose the correct vehicle. Now you can make yourself some money by selling us Simex tires we cannot get here - such as the Grand Trekker, the Centipede, and this brand has a third tire line I cannot remember.

Regards,

In Malaysia, we refer 80 series landcruiser as Ninja Turtle...dunnon why but that is how we call it =P

 

[TEPUI]

Funny, in Venezuela, some people called them "burbuja" which means bubble. Why? because they resemble an inflated FJ60.
